' The following laws pertain to the City of Chanhassen: Section 504 of the 1973 Rehabilitation Act 1 Section 504 of the 1973 Rehabilitation Act states that an entity receiving Federal Y tY 8 ' financial assistance -- either directly or indirectly -- must prohibit any discrimination in the form of communication, structural accessibility, programs, policies, etc., against persons with disabilities. As a result, an evaluation of all city building areas, facilities, programs, and practices 1 were to be completed as well as the implementation of a barrier removal program. ' Enforcement for Section 504 of the 1973 Rehabilitation Act is through various Departments of the Federal Government. If an entity is found not making efforts to comply with Section 504 of the 1973 Rehabilitation Act, there is a risk of losing federal funding. Americans With Disabilities Act Title II Title II of the Americans With Disabilities Act is intended to apply to all programs, activities, and services provided or operated by state and local governments. Currently, 504 only applies to programs or activities receiving federal financial assistance. Like Section 504 of the 1973 Rehabilitation Act, the Americans With Disabilities Act requires that architectural barriers be removed if they are necessary for program accessibility. Per the Americans With Disabilities Act, recipients of federal funds - medical asst. research grants should review all buildings and facilities to determine what architectural barriers exist, the cost to remove those barriers, and then determine what the appropriate implementation plan should be to comply. Enforcement of the Americans With Disabilities Act is through lawsuits filed as a result of a complaint by a person with a disability or an organization representing julee quarve- peterson, inc. - "" page j' Executive Summary City of Chanhassen persons with disabilities. As of July 26, 1992, City of Chanhassen is at risk of being exposed to a lawsuit if implementation plans have not been developed. Minnesota State Building Code Chapter 1340 The Minnesota state building code regarding accessibility was implemented in November 1975. Any building remodeled, constructed, or having a change of occupancy after that date is to comply with the Minnesota Building Code Chapter 1340 design guidelines. The Minnesota Building Code Chapter 1340 is enforced by , local or state building officials. It is encouraged the City of Chanhassen use the information provided in this report to .develop a transition plan which outlines a schedule on the action to be taken for each recommendation listed. As each upgrade has been completed as a result of repair, remodeling, replacement, or as a proactive approach to removing architectural barriers, the i specific items should be dated or "checked off' to identify that the action has been completed. Based upon the observations of J P Inc. it is recommended that e p Q , n th City of Chanhassen take a proactive position in implementing those recommendations identified under the "Recommended Action" to be consistent with the intent of the Americans With Disabilities , Act. Until such time all proactive recommendations are to be implemented, the City of Chanhassen should be aware of their obligations to provide program accessibility. Section 504 of the 1973 Rehabilitation Act and the Americans With Disabilities Act Title II do indicate that it is not always necessary to make structural upgrades to provide accessibility. The concept of program accessibility is acceptable to meet both of these laws. Therefore, it is important that the City of Chanhassen review the programs provided at each location in relation to the following report to identify where potential barriers may exist at a site creating potential accessibility problems for persons with disabilities. It is acceptable to relocate programs to an alternate site which may provide a greater level of accessibility. Those items listed "Recommended as short term recommendations in the Action" are recommended to be implemented within the forthcoming years. These recommendations typically can be done by facilities staff and require limited financial responsibility. Long range recommendations are accessibility projects which will require a greater level of planning, the potential involvement of an architect and/or outside construction firm, and may require separate budgeting. A reactive approach should be taken to accommodate a qualified employee's request for accessibility upgrades to provide an appropriate work environment. It is encouraged that the City of Chanhassen establish a procedure to communicate with employees to determine - appropriate needs. julee quarve- peterson, ine. p age 2 I Executive Sum mary City of Chanhassen The City of Chanhassen should establish a policy.that:all new construction and remodeling meet the New Construction Guidelines produced as a result of the Americans With Disabilities Act. Finally, this report should be reviewed at such time any site or facility undergoes repair, remodeling, or replacement. For example, if faucet hardware located in a restroom needs to be replaced, it should be replaced with hardware which requires single effort operation, i.e. single lever, dual blade, or electric eye. Over a period of time, through general upgrades, eventually each site will provide accessibility features which will meet the needs of all persons. The following identifies the Recommended Action.
